🗓 11 MAY 2023: COFFEE BECOMES A WATCHMAKER WITH HUBLOT x NESPRESSO
Hublot and Nespresso recently presented Big Bang Unico Nespresso Origin, an innovative watch made with recycled coffee capsules.
Since obtaining B Corp certification last year, Nespresso has been committed to developing recycling initiatives, in particular through its Nespresso Second Life program. The program’s goal is to give a second life to used capsules by transforming them into new products.
The Hublot watch’s 42 mm case is made entirely of recycled aluminum, with Nespresso capsules accounting for 28% of that. Recycled capsules were also used for the bezel, crown, and pushers. The watch’s bracelet is made up of 95% recycled polyester and 5% recycled coffee grounds.

🗓 23 MAI 2023: VERSACE x DUA LIPA
The Italian house has presented its cruise collection designed in collaboration with singer Dua Lipa.
The “La Vacanza” collection, showcased at Cannes during the film festival, is the result of a meeting between the house’s Italian esthetics and the singer’s glamorous stage outfits. On the catwalk, like Barbies come to life, the looks reflected a skillful mix of sensuality and sophistication with a touch of eccentricity.
The ensuing media response was proof of the current power of collaborations between fashion houses and iconic pop culture personalities. In “La Vacanza,” this fusion of influences produced a collection transcending the boundaries between fashion, art, and entertainment.
